With 4.3.something the .pc file chaged from xfce4-panel-1.0 to
libxfce4panel-1.0. It sounds like you are targeting the wrong version. 
dpkg -L xfce4-panel-dev | grep pc will show you what you have.

I have been doing some work on the existing wavelan plugin. I'm not
quite sure what you are aiming for, or whether it fits in with the
existing plugin, but would you be interested in talking to me about
modifying the existing plugin to do what you want. If not then I might
be able to help you anyway.
